Sixteen years ago everyone "knew" that fat mahogany tone and sustain equaled weight and discomfort. Then the SA changed everything. The SA is thin around the edge to give you great comfort, and thick around the neck, pickups and bridge to give you great tone. For players who want S sleekness, but with a standard flat back. 25.5 neck scale offers narrow feel and tight tension similar to an RG. Rosewood offers a strong, bright sound and an attractive appearance with a long grain. Unlike other brands in this price range, SA models receive the same individual inspection and set-up as Ibanez's most expensive models.
